The cry usually consists of an electronic noise. Pokémon related by [[evolution]] (e.g., {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}) and association ({{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, and {{p|Panpour}}) will often have notably similar cries, though others may sound very different ({{p|Remoraid}} and {{p|Octillery}}), especially if from different [[generation]]s ({{p|Kirlia}} and {{p|Gallade}}). When Pokémon undergo [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], their cry is altered, sometimes dramatically. Many [[List of Pokémon with form differences|alternate forms]], such as those of {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, and the [[Forces of Nature]], also have different cries.

Despite there being 151 Pokémon in Generation I, there are only 37 completely different cries in the Generation I games. However, similar cries are distinguished by differences in pitch, speed, echo, or disabling one of the sound channels. For example, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}'s base cries are the same, but Charmeleon's is lower-pitched. Another example is that Metapod and Abra have the same base cry, but Metapod's only plays one sound channel. In [[Generation II]], there were 30 new base cries introduced, applying the same techniques as before. The only Generation II cries based on older ones belong to {{p|Crobat}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, both of which evolve from Generation I Pokémon.
